Home Catering

We all live in busy times with various conflicting commitments & priorities.

These days most households enjoy an inclusive, open plan living format, typically leaning towards a more relaxed and casual style of dining & hosting, but equally special.

The Hidden Kitchen aims to prop you up as the host so you can enjoy lunch or dinner, whether it is a low key dinner party or celebratory event.  Our mantra for our catering services – secret – special – sustainable. 

We offer two types of service;

  • Standardised dining - we offer a priced set menu to select from, or

  • Bespoke dining - we tailor the menu to your needs.

Our standardised (rustic & gourmet) and bespoke menus evolve with the seasons to ensure the most flavoursome ingredients are used. 

Both services are designed to take the hassle out of hosting, providing a subtle and seamless service. These menus are therefore based on the Hidden Kitchen preparing your chosen menu, with the host responsible for the finishing touches and serving it.

Shhhh - no one needs to know you’ve had help!

    • Our menus are designed for a minimum of 8 guests and maximum of 25-30 guests, depending on how many courses you would like. 

    • Prices range from £45-75 per head.

    • We offer two styles of menu depending on your budget; our rustic or gourmet menu.

    • All diners will be served the same dish for each course. However, if there are 12 or more guests, the Hidden Kitchen can provide two options per course at no extra cost.

    • If you would like us to offer additional courses or dish options, this can be accommodated at an additional cost.

    • All mains are served with a starch and vegetable side, which is to be agreed with the host and designed to complement the protein main.

    • Delivery can be offered within a 30-minute drive of SW2 4HE.

  • What if our standard menus don’t whet your appetite…..?

    • You may like to explore our bespoke service.  We will create a bespoke menu tailored around what you fancy eating, how many courses and options you want to provide to guests.   

    • This service is very well suited if you are celebrating a special occasion or simply want that extra wow factor and flexibility!

    • We can provide this service from 2 diners up to 30, offering a broader repertoire compared to our standardised service.

    • We can also provide a more “hands on” service if you’d like, with us supporting with serving and tidying up.

    • Please do get in touch to find out more!
